Entrepreneurial Finance and Accounting: From Seed to Scale is a practical, founder-friendly course that demystifies the money side of building a business. Whether you’re validating an idea, raising your first check, or preparing to scale, you’ll learn exactly how funding, accounting, and decision-making evolve across the startup lifecycle.

Then move through funding milestones, from bootstrapping and seed capital to venture backing, private equity, and public markets—understanding when to raise, from whom, and why. You’ll connect strategy to numbers: how industry dynamics and business models shape capital needs, revenue timing, cash flow patterns, and risk. Get fluent in accounting essentials—income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement—and use them to manage burn, forecast runway, track KPIs, and inform strategic choices. By the end, you’ll be able to plan resources confidently, communicate with investors, and steward capital responsibly. The course blends concise explanations, real-world examples, quizzes, and interactive activities to cement learning. If you want clarity on finance without the jargon—and a roadmap that grows with your company—this course is your step-by-step guide from seed to scale.
